Main=

Gehoumen (aka the "Mask of the Outlaw") is a minor character from the Kishin Douji Zenki series.

At first, Gehoumen is simply Amon's pet spider, but soon enough, he uses it for a magic ritual. Afterwards, it becomes a ceremonial demon spider, that sports a human-like eye on the back of its abdomen, which gives it strong vibes of a spider/Hyouinomi-hybrid.

When the spider later possess a ranging man, it becomes an armored human/spider-hybrid monster which mainly possesses a human-like body, but has six arms and hides a cyclops-like face beneath his mask, that calls itself Gedoushikioni (aka the "Guardian Demon of the heretic doctrine").

Errors in foreign translations of the manga

 * Translators using the Chinese manga as their base sometimes refer to Gehoumen as the "Possessor", which is likely due to him possessing a human host.
 * Unfortunately, this means, that the translators omitted the Hyouijuu's actual name, as "Possessor" translates to "Shoji-sha" (所持者), which isn't the same as "Gehoumen". Also, a "Possessor" could be just any Hyouinomi possessing a host, so the omission of Gehoumen's name is rather misleading.

Misspellings and mistransliterations

 * "Gaihoumen" is a misspelling of Gehoumen's name, that appears in the Chinese translation
 * "Sotonori-men" and "Soto houmen" are a mistransliteration of Gehoumen, that come from the fact, that the Kanji 外法面, which make up Gehoumen's name can be pronounced differently, depending on the context they are used in.
